🚀 Getting Started
This guide walks you through installing Cobblebase and getting your first Pokemon base up and running.
📦 Requirements
| Dependency | Version |
|---|---|
| Minecraft | 1.21.1 |
| Cobblemon | 1.7.0+ |
| Cloth Config | Required (mod crashes without it) |
Fabric
- Fabric Loader 0.16.14+
- Fabric Language Kotlin
NeoForge
- NeoForge 21.1+
- Kotlin for Forge 5.x
Installation
- Download the latest Cobblebase JAR for your platform (Fabric or NeoForge) from Modrinth or GitHub Releases.
- Place the JAR in your
mods/folder alongside Cobblemon, Cloth Config, and the Kotlin language adapter for your platform. - Launch the game.
First Steps
1. Place a Pasture Block
Cobblebase works through the Cobblemon Pasture Block. Place one down and send your Pokemon into the pasture as you normally would.
2. Open the Cobblebase GUI
Right-click the Pasture Block to open it. You will see a "Cobblebase" button in the Pasture Block UI. Click it to open the management interface.
🔒 On multiplayer servers, only the pasture owner can open the Cobblebase GUI.
3. Assign Jobs
In the Skills tab, you will see each Pokemon in your pasture along with their available skills. You have two options:
- Idle -- The Pokemon does nothing. Only passive buffs remain active.
- Manual -- Click a specific skill button to assign that job. Look for the highest proficiency stars ★★★★★ for the best performance.
4. Watch Your Pokemon Work
Once assigned, Pokemon begin performing their jobs on cooldown-based cycles. They will harvest crops, mine ores, guard your base, find items, and more -- all automatically.
🔇 Use the mute button in the top-right corner if cry sounds are distracting.
5. Check Your Logs
Switch to the Logs tab to see what your Pokemon have been doing. Filter by rarity to quickly find valuable discoveries.
⚙️ Configuration
Press K (default keybind) to open the Cloth Config settings screen. Key options include:
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Passive XP | Toggle passive XP gain for pastured Pokemon | On |
| Passive XP Percentage | Percentage of XP to next level gained per tick | 5% |
| Passive XP Interval | Seconds between passive XP ticks | 60s |
| Skill Toggles | Enable/disable entire skill categories | All on |
| Search Radius | Default block search radius for skills | 10 |
| Mentor Max Boost | Cap the mentor XP multiplier | 100% |
All settings are also available as JSON configuration files for server admins.
